Three-legged race


A three-legged race involves two participants attempting to complete a short sprint with the left leg of one runner strapped to the right leg of another runner. The object is for the partners to run together without falling over, and beat the other contestants to the finish line.

The longest distance run three-legged in 24 hours is 109.8 km (68.23 miles) and was achieved by Mark Howlett (Ely, Cambs, England) and Rab Lee (Bo'ness, Scotland), at the Glenmore 24 Hour Trail Race, in the Cairngorms National Park, Scotland, UK, on 7–8 September 2013. This is also the longest distance ever run three-legged. Mark Howlett and Rab Lee invented 'The Maverick' style, a technique where one person leans slightly in front of the other which enables running.
